Kol Nidre 5779
If you have been to our service before you know that it is our custom to end with what we refer to as a World Yizkor List, mentioning people famous and not so famous who made an impact on our world.
Va-etchanan & The Harp – 5778
Shabbat Shalom. We have a beautiful harp in our living room. It stands tall and is regal. Tobi, my wife, and your rebetzin, plays the harp. It is the most beautiful of instruments. When you see and hear a harp play, you can understand why ancient literature depicted it as the instrument of angels.
Shabbat Chazon 5778
I sat down yesterday morning to write a short d’var Torah about this week’s haftarah for last night, Friday night. This is my custom. I do speak multiple times each Shabbat. Those who come on Friday night know that I try to give something different and new on Shabbat morning.

Shabbat Greetings – 03/03/2018
Dear friends, we Jews worry a lot. One of the indicators of that is that there is a near-obsessive conversation that takes place about our future.
Shabbat Greetings – 02/23/2018
Dear Friends, the shooting at Douglas Stoneman High School has brought pain to so many. It brings to mind the reality that we all live with the thought that we are vulnerable.
